Do everything in love and compassion


I'm having a hard time today. It seems like everywhere I turn, I am getting hurt. Not physically, but emotionally. I know that no one is out to intentionally hurt me, but it is happening anyways. Some people are just going about their day and I am a little extra sensitive. Others, well, they are not caring about others so they don't care how they treat people as long as they get to voice their own opinions or get their own way. I know I need to adjust my attitude a little and not be so sensitive. I'm tired and frustrated and that makes my attitude a little off but I shouldn't take that out on others. Knowing this, I try to keep the hurts to myself. Most are not doing it on purpose and would feel terrible if they knew they had hurt me. I don't want them to feel bad because of my off day, so I keep it to myself. I will get over it. But it got me thinking, we always think about how we got hurt but how often do we stop to think about how our words and actions hurt others? We may be in the right in what we say or do but the manner in which we express it could be very wrong. We need to do everything in love and compassion. Even when we are disagreeing with someone.
